Do they really want to meet someone who will listen and understand them, as well as relate to their problems without judging them or providing unwanted advice ?
I mean, from my experience with women...they don't want advice from man, all they want is someone to listen, and that's all. You give her advice and she will yell on you for an hour and then won't talk to you for a weekand if you don't give her one, then you don't care for her and yadi yadi yada you are regarding the day you met her...with sincerity.
The trick Ive learned is not to give advice..ask them what they think and offer some suggestions to the problem..at times all of us dislike advice, but need it

Isn't that only what we all really want ...not just the ladies.
We all pretty much make up our minds about stuff way before we voice it ....sometimes we want conformation ,sometime someone to simply listen ....and sometimes ,perhaps the minority, we want a little bit of advice.

You said the magic words for me. I have always wanted someone to understand me more then anything he could give me. After all these years, I think men don't want to spend the time to get into the head of one particular woman. It's not their cup of tea. I like taking the time to understand what makes a man tick because then I know what the rules are....when to leave him alone....when to put him in his man cave.....and when to go to him for advice and help. It sounds easy to me but you need a man and a woman who want to invest the time. It can't be one-sided. Good thread ugly man I mean justabum..
Nope; I certainly dont want unsolicted advice. If I ask for it; then fine but I hate when I have a problem and the guy thinks he has to fix it for me. I am a big girl and not a child. I can deal with my own problems.

This is ironic, because women have occasionally asked for my advice from a man's perspective. My standard answer is, "I'm not sure that I the right guy to ask, because I am not a typical guy. So any answer I would give would not be what a typical guy would say." At that point, I try to give at least my perspective, rather than the advice that most guys would give.

Well, as I stated I don't want unsolicited advice. I try to solve things on my own and may ask a guy or even a girl for advice if I am really stumped.

Sure, I would ask for advice and listen to it, but not necessarily follow it, depends on my own judgement in the end. Sometimes, though I think, men think that woman is asking for advice, when she is not. She is just thinking loudly, lol!

I agree Griz.
